Meet your Doula
hi, i'm ana
I’m a wife and mother. I love everything about motherhood. The ups, downs, and the in-between of this beautiful gift in life. I have learned that women placed in my life by God are there for me to be an encouragement to them. My desire is to pass down all that I have learned from my experiences.
Reasons to Hire a doula
- Doulas supports a family during pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks of post-partum up to a year, with reassurance, practical assistance, and information.
- A doula is someone you come to know well by the time of your birth, and who is there during your labor, by your side, focused solely on you and your birth partner.
- Encourages you, remain objective, and help your birth partner feel more confident about how to support you.
- Assist you with practical knowledge on comfort measures for labor, such as massage and suggestions for positioning.
- Provides information when you have questions and help you communicate most effectively with your medical caregivers.
There are a few things a birth doula is not:
- Not utilizing her skills as a nurse or midwife, so they do not provide clinical care such as doing examinations on you or checking your baby’s heartbeat.
- Doulas do not make decisions for you or speak for you. This is your birth, your baby, your life!
- A doula supports you by providing information to help you make informed choices, but it’s always you who decides what’s best for you.
